About the artist
Life has to be lived looking forward, but I can only make sense of it by looking back.
My artworks are the result of an ongoing introspective road trip, guided by the light of recovery yet firmly anchored in a queer melancholy.
As I recall moments and faces from the past, the lines between memory, fantasy, and dreams often overlap or become blurred. They become postcards of trauma from foreign places such as Desire, Belonging, Identity, and Love, among others.
Revisiting and rendering these moments and themes through a combination of techniques, including photography, painting, assemblage, and photomontage, brings reconciliation and clarity to my here and now.
Nostalgia for a better future.
